Mama Mingz Pizza Sauce~Black Folks Eating Right

My son loves pizza and that was the one foods he begged me to allow him to eat with a plant based diet.

Why not, 

I can find a low calorie recipe sauce for pizza I already have a bread maker that makes pizza dough. I am more than half way there.

And I did.

And he loves it. 

The sauce is pretty good, if I don't say so my self.

(say it in your best Italian accent)

"MAMA Mingz Pizza Sauce"

1 tablespoon Olive Oil

1/2 cup minced  Sweet White Onion

2 cloves Garlic, pressed through a garlic press

2 tablespoons minced Sun-dried Tomatoes 
{ packed in olive oil}

2 teaspoons Dried Oregano

1-1/2 teaspoon Dried Basil

1/4 cup White Wine (like a Chardonnay)

1 {6 ounce} can of Tomato Paste

1 cup Water

2 pinches of Kosher Salt

1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper

 Heat a large {10 inch} skillet over moderate heat. Add in olive oil and when hot, add in the minced onion and garlic. Stir until soft.

Now add in the minced sun-dried tomatoes, dried oregano and basil and stir. The oil and the heat of the pan will soften up the dried herbs.

Pour in the 4 tablespoons of white wine and let that simmer until reduced by half.

Add in the entire can {6 ounces} of tomato paste and the cup of water. Switch over to a wire whisk and stir until combined. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the sauce for 15 minutes before seasoning with kosher salt and black pepper.

Pour in to a jar to cool and store in the fridge for a week, or use it tonight.

Raw Tacos Recipe~Black Folks Eating Right

One of the fast food staples in our home use to be Taco Bell. 

I had a hankering for tacos, so I found a simple recipe and of course add my own little 

“s’mthang… s’mthang”

What you will need is:

Food Processor

Soaked Black Beads*

¾ cup diced red chili pepper

1.5 raw sweet corn cobs

½ small-med red onion

1 medium ripe avocado

½ -1 tbsp lemon juice

8-10 red or green lettuce leaves

Instructions:

    Diced the red chili peppers and onion and transfer into a bowl

    Rinse and drain black beans and pour them into the bowl.

** I find that soaking my black beans overnight makes them tender.

    Cut corn off the cob and mix into the beans, chili pepper and onions

    ~~Place avocado and lemon juice into a food processor and mix until it is smooth and creamy

 Serve
